Posh Spice Victoria Beckham has admitted that she was so in awe of Hollywood star Julia Roberts that she did a curtsy when she met her.

According to The Mirror, Beckham said that she views the actress as a "legend" and was thrilled to meet her.

"What do you do when you meet someone like Julia Roberts? She's a legend," Beckham said.

"There was a red carpet lineup and as I came to greet her, I found myself bending to curtsy."

"Incredibly, she knew who David and I were and we got on really well. She's very down to earth. We're both mums with young children, so we had a lot to talk about," she said.

"We've swapped numbers and I'm looking forward to catching up with her again."
